On Gentoo, shared-desktop-ontologies is a USE flag based dependency of
kdelibs-4.5.0, based on the semantic-desktop USE flag.

The kdelibs semantic-desktop USE flag, in turn, depends not only on
shared-desktop-ontologies, but also on soprano (which in turn
must be built with the dbus, raptor, and redland USE flags to
satisfy the dependency).  Further, there's a USE=semantic-desktop
pdepend (post-depend, not needed for build but to be installed
afterward) on nepomuk.

The semantic-desktop USE flag then hooks into the cmake option
for SharedDesktopOntologies.

So yes, it's "optional", but not really, if you're wanting full
functionality, including semantic desktop.  But here's the deal:
kdelibs can be built either as the foundation for a kde desktop,
in which case you'd want (and with 4.5 it's now almost required)
semantic-desktop and shared-desktop-ontologies, or you can build
it only to support specific kde apps on some other desktop
(gnome, xfce, something lighter), in which case you may well
not want or need the semantic desktop stuff.  That's what the
option is basically coming down to at this point, whether you
want the kde desktop including semantics, or are only building
it to support specific apps on another desktop, in which case
you very well may not want or need the additional dependencies
of semantic-desktop and the ontologies.
